<th>Using BBcode</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class='area_2'>This guide outlines how BBcode works. Ideally
you would use the buttons and lists above the message entry box to
create the BBcode.
<p><strong>Formatting Text</strong></p>

<p>Using BBcode you can format text using various tags, e.g.
[b]bold[/b] would make the text <strong>Bold</strong> and
[i]italic[/i] would make it <i>italic</i> The text formatting tags
are outlined below:</p>
<ul class='tabstyle_2'>
<li class='tabstyle_2'>[b][/b] - bold text</li>
<li class='tabstyle_2'>[i][/i] - italic text</li>
<li class='tabstyle_2'>[u][/u] - underline text</li>
<li class='tabstyle_2'>[left][/left] - left align text</li>

<li class='tabstyle_2'>[right][/right] - right align text</li>
<li class='tabstyle_2'>[center][/center] - center text</li>
<li class='tabstyle_2'>[justify][/justify] - fully justify
text</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Changing text font</strong><br />
To use a different font for part or all of your message use
[font=font name]Text[/font] replacing 'font name' with the font of
your choice.</p>
<p><strong>Changing text color</strong><br />
To colorize your text use [color=hex code]Text[/color] where hex
code is the hexadecimal code for the color you wish to use e.g.
[color=#FF0000] is red, [color=#0000FF] is blue and [color=#000000]
is black (invalid codes default to black). A list of common color
hex codes is available <a href=
'http://users.adelphia.net/~technet/docs/colors4.gif'>here</a></p>
<p><strong>Changing text size</strong><br />

To resize the text use [size=size in pixels] replacing 'size in
pixels' with the text you require. The default size is 11
pixels</p>
<p>All text formatting BBcode tags can be combined with each other
so Bold Italic Size 24pixels Blue text, right aligned written in
Courier would be
[b][i][size=24][color=#0000FF][right][font=Courier]Text[/font][/right][/color][/size][/i][/b]
and appear as</p>
<div style=
'text-align:right;font-family:Courier;font-weight:bold;font-style: italic;font-size:24px;color:#0000FF;'>
Text</div>
<p><strong>Adding links</strong><br />
A link can be added into a post in several ways. If you wish to add
a clickable text link like 'http://localhost' use this code [url]http://localhost[/url].
<br />
If you wish to put a link behind a text use this code [url=http://localhost]this site[/url] appears as <span class='sample_link' title='http://localhost'>this site</span></p>
<p>The same can be done for links to email addresses e.g.
[email]myemail@myserver.com[/email] or
[email=someone@somewhere.com]email someone[/email]</p>
<p><strong>Creating lists</strong> You can created ordered or
unordered lists using [ul][/ul] or [ol][/ol] respectively. Items in
the list are tagged using [*][/*]<br />

e.g. [ul][*]Item 1[/*][*]Item 2[/*][*]Item 3[/*][/ul] would appear
as</p>
<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
<li>Item 3</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Miscellaneous BBcode</strong><br />
To add a picture, just place the URL of the image between
[img][/img] tags e.g.
[img]http://www.images.com/mypicture.jpg[/img]</p>
<p>To add a quote place the quote in [quote][/quote] tags. If you
press the quote button on a post it will enter these tags for
you</p>
<p>If you want horizontally scrolling text you can place the text
between [move][/move] tags</p>

<p>Offtopic text can be placed using [offtopic][/offtopic] tags or
you can just use an offtopic smilie if one is available</p>
<p>If you want to post code for help with programming or a bug fix
you can use [code][/code] tags</p>
